Unfortunately the purpose of this blog entry is to bear some somber and sad news. On The 2nd day of January in the year 2015 we lost an artist and a friend.

The Co-founder on this very group: Chad M. Fuller ended his battle with cancer earlier this month.

I know this blog is a bit overdue but I was struck with shear disbelief and I had to wrestle with the reality that Chad is gone from us. I never met Chad in person but in my online relationship with him I understood him to be a kind, patient, and talented person. He was the first person to watch my account and he had the ability to make me feel valid as an artist. Even through an illness Chad made it his mission to leave encouraging comments and genuinely constructive criticisms for any artist he came across when most people wouldn't even take the time. His ability to affirm and encourage was what won him such popularity here on DeviantArt.com and lead me to ask him to help me create Divergent Muse. For me Chad became a staple of this site and overtime I genuinely came to see him as a friend while respecting him as an artist.
